So i had a few clutch cable issues so i decided to buy the UPR FW adjuster quadrant and cable... I installed it and now its 10x harder to push in the clutch.? and it almost seems slow to come back out.. Ive read that every aftermarket cable SUCKS. but i bought it anyways haha could this be the problem? if so what do i need to buy? adjustable OEM? do i have to get rid of the FW adjuster? THANKS

That setup really shouldnt increase pedal effort...sounds like it is out of adjustment. Is it the single hook quick release quad or multiple hook quad?

Its the UPR triple hook.. and we put it on the one closest to the firewall like the instructions said. But i almost feel like the cable could be miss routed? We tried to route it several different ways but it would only fit one way.

Only way it can go is between the oil pan and motor mount....

Sorry to Hijack but, I have a question about the three hook quadrant. When I got mine, I didnt know where to hook the cable so I put it in the last hook. The one furthest away from the fire wall. What difference dose it make as to which hook is used? My clutch has to be pushed in a lot to shift & gabs right off the floor. I would like it to be more at the top so I could shift quicker. I have tried adjusting the cable but that caused a slipping issue.
